This feature goes hand in hand with the feature depth of product structure within the total logistics network (Section 3.4.2). The less depth of product structure in a company as compared to that in the entire logistics network, the more strongly the company is bound to the transcorporate logistics network. In other words, with less depth of product structure, the greater the necessity for transcorporate cooperation. Depending upon position within the network, this may refer to procurement or distribution tasks. Experience has shown that deep product structure of the entire logistics network is also “wide,” in the sense that many components enter into each structure level. This extends the range of procurement tasks.
